How to Get Good Customer Service at Your Car Dealership
Maybe you're dissatisfied with your new car, or maybe with the dealership that sold it to you. Whatever it is, you're left unhappy with your recent experience buying a car, and feel like the customer service you received was below par. Yet despite your efforts, you can't seem to make your voice heard and get your problems resolved. Here's how to get the best service possible from your local car dealership.
Even if you left previously with a negative experience, your local dealer is still the best person to work with to resolve your complaint. Local dealerships are interested in creating loyal lifetime customers, and they know the best way to do that is by making you happy. A dealership can spend a fortune on advertising trying to attract customers, but statistics show that good customer service is by far the best way to keep them.
But before your local new car dealer will help you, they need to believe that you're going to be a good future customer. It's much easier for a dealership to justify helping you (especially if it costs money) if they believe they will earn that money back in the future. The best way to convince a dealership you're going to be a good customer in the future is to show them you're a good customer now.
A great way to prove you're a great customer is just to be nice and polite to employees at the dealership. No one wants to help the guy who's ranting rudely, but they'll gladly lend a hand to someone who asks nicely. Simple courtesy can get you a long way! Get on the employees' good side, and you'll be surprised how much easier it is to get quality service.
If there is one person you should talk to about your customer service problem, it's the dealership's General Manager (GM). GMs are authorized to do almost anything to maintain excellent customer service, and they can be an incredibly useful person to talk to. They are able to get senior executives on the phone at short notice, and are themselves professionals experienced in solving customer service problems. They are essential to contact if you're looking to get the manufacturer to do something for you.
In the (rare but possible) event that the GM is unable to resolve your problem, call the manufacturer's customer service hotline. The number will be in your owner's manual. You may also want to call the manufacturer's local regional office. They will likely simply send you back to the national hotline, but may give you a chance to speak with a regional executive. Perseverance is vital in getting yourself heard.
So, to summarize, if you have a new car customer service problem, your local dealer is your starting point. Make sure to ask to speak with the general manager, and to be nice to everyone you speak with. If the local dealer doesn't get it done, try working with the manufacturer's national hotline. Finally, call your manufacturer's regional office. As long as you're persistent and pleasant, you'll get the best possible customer service.
